Zooropa Lyrics

"It was our attempt to create a world rather than just songs and it's a beautiful world. The opening was our new manifesto, 'I have no compass, I have no map, and I have no reason to go back. Brian Eno was in his element here... The opening was the audio equivalent of Blade Runner's visuals. If you closed your eyes you could see the neon, the giant LED screens advertising all manner of ephemera." - Bono, U2 By U2 2006

What do you want
What do you want
Combien encore

Zooropa
Vorsprung durch Technik
Zooropa
Be all that you can be
Be a winner, eat to get slimmer

Zooropa
A bluer kind of white
Zooropa
It could be yours tonight
We're mild and green and squeaky clean

What do you want
What do you want
Combien encore
What do you want
Que veux-tu faire
What do you want
Combien encore

Zooropa
Better by design
Zooropa
Fly the friendly skies
Through appliance of science we've got that ring of confidence

And I have no compass and I have no map
And I have no reasons, no reasons to get back
And I have no religion and I don't know what's what
And I don't know the limit, the limit of what we got

Zooropa
Don't worry baby
Zooropa
It'll be alright
Zooropa
You've got the right shoes to get you through the night
Zooropa
It's cold outside
Zooropa
But brightly lit
Zooropa
Skip the subway, let's go to the overground
Get your head out of the mud baby
Put flowers in the mud, baby, overground

No particular place names, no particular song
I've been hiding, what am I hiding from
Yeah yeah yeah
